The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully carried out its first Integrated Air Drop Test (IADT-01) for the Gaganyaan mission. The test demonstrated the parachute-based deceleration system, ensuring astronaut safety during re-entry. It was conducted with support from the Indian Air Force, DRDO, Indian Navy, and Coast Guard. ISRO chairman V Narayanan confirmed that the first uncrewed Gaganyaan flight, G1, will launch in December with the humanoid robot Vyommitra. India plans its first crewed flight in 2027. Future missions include Chandrayaan-4 in 2028, a Venus mission, a space station by 2035, and a Moon landing by 2040. (PC: X)
